I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'very keen to get' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'daughter into the other conglomerate' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'daughter' could be 'd' (genealogical abbreviation) and 'd' is found within the answer.
an anagram of 'other' is 'rehot' which is within the left over letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'the' acts as a link.
